Senior year.

Yep.

Everything changed their senior year, can you believe it? Lizzie, Gordo, and Miranda are no longer the Three Amigos. Now, they are more like the Lone Rangers.

It all started freshman year. Lizzie once again tried out for the cheerleading squad (and made it), Miranda tried out for the big school play (and managed to get the lead), and Gordo made it into NHS, National Honor Society (a club for over-achievers). They all kept attending meetings and practices that they barely and rarely spent time with each other.

It wasn't that they hated each other, because they didn't. It was just that they didn't have time for each other. Lizzie began hanging with the cheerleaders, Miranda with the Drama crowd, and Gordo with the over-achievers. You probably think Gordo was a nerd and extremely hated, but he wasn't. He was quite the opposite. Sure he was smart, but being smart doesn't necessarily mean you're a nerd.

When they passed each other in the halls, they would always smile and nod at each other. They acknowledged one anothers presence. But today, was just a little different...

"Yah, I think we have a chance to place for the competition... I mean, our routine is pretty good." Lizzie reassured Kate and Claire

"I guess. I just hope the freshman and sophomore cheerleaders don't ruin it." Kate replied

"I know! I think they're having trouble on some of the moves." Claire added

"Oh don't worry about them. We have 4 more 1 hour practices and we can--" Lizzie was interruppted when she bumped into none other than...

"Miranda!" Lizzie said

"Hey Miranda!" Kate and Claire said in unison

"Hey Kate, Hey Claire!" Miranda said before Kate and Claire left for practice

"Sorry Lizzie... I uh- wasn't looking where I was going." She apologized, awkwardly

"Oh, don't worry about it... uhm, you dropped this." She said, picking up the book, "oOo... Romeo and Juliet? So, you got the lead?"

She took the book, "Yah, I'm Juliet! So... you gonna come?" Miranda asked

"To the play?" Miranda nodded, "Well--"

"LIZZIE! WE'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR PRACTICE!" They heard a distant Kate, interrupt

"Uh, YAH I"LL BE RIGHT THERE!" She yelled back, "So I'll see you later?" She asked Miranda

Miranda gave an uneasy nod and Lizzie was on her way.

"I doubt it, though." Miranda huffed
